IS PROHIBITION A FAILURE IN AT.
lANTA,

LAMA
Mere assertion weighs but little !;
facts alone tell. The annals of his
tory will never perhaps, contain a
more wonderful revolution than that
of Prohibition in Atlanta. When
the issue was first joined, the advo-
Gates of the liquor traffic declared
that prohibition could never be car
ried in city of the size of Atlanta 1;
and if carried could never be enforc-
ed. Many advocated high license,
and some the substitution of wine
for whisky and brandy. No law
has ever been more vigorously
fought than prohibition has been in
Atlanta. Every artifice and scheme
has been resorted to to nullify the ope-
rations of the law. The courts have
been tried. The provision of the
Prohibitory Law exempting licenses
from being terminated before they
expired were used to defeat the law,
as we'll as that allowing the sale Of
domestic wine. A great parade
was made of liquor being brought
into the city in jugs in order to
threw odium upon the law. But
prohibition is not failure in Allan
ia, as the records show.
The courts have sustained it.
Drinking has been cut off 80 per
cent. The arrests for drunkenness
have been largely reduced, and it
only requires one policeman to guard
1000 inhabitants. One hundred
and thirty bar-rooms, vending on
an average $4,000 drinks daily, have
been wiped out. Families that dur
ing the prevalence of the liquor
traffic suffered for the necessaries
of life because their means were
squandered for liquor, are now ena-
bled to supply their wants from the
money saved by prohibition. The
city treasury has not suffered be-
cause of the absence of the tax in
her Golfers. The tax assessments
for the present year, assessed by
strong anti-Prohibtionist, shows an
increase of over $2,000,000 over
last year. The city has largely in
creased her expenditures for public
schools and public improvements.
She has donated $4,000 to school
of technology and SIS, 900 to fair
ground. Her population is nearly
$4,000, an increase of over 5000.
Her manufacturing enterprises have
been enlarged, and new stores and
dwelling are being erected in every
quarter of the city. Atlanta was
never more prosperous or active than
she is now.
That occasionally drunken man
is arrested, or wine-room man ar
raigned for violation of the law, is
not to be denied; but it is not to
be wondered at when a city of 81
900 people, with 1870 open bar-rooms,
in a moment over-turns a traffic
hoary with age and iniquity. But
the courts are Furnishing violators so
severely, sustained by public OPT
Mon, that the ranks of the violators
are growing smaller daily. The
course pursued by the opponents Of
prohibition has disguised many in
their own ranks, so that numbers who
formerly opposed prohibition or
favored high license or the wine
rooms, now favor the enforcement
or the prohibition law. That law is
not failure in Atlanta, nor has its
operations injured Atlanta one single
iota.- Sunny South, June IL.
